I took advantage of this week’s Fit Trip to Sandbox Fitness and shot the new 5 minute workout in Mina and David’s studio. Not only that, I also took advantage of their experience and fitness niche and had them lead me through the workout. This was the first time I used sand on the ground as a resistance which was surprisingly hard. Especially dragging the sand with your feet during the side lunges is an incredible inner thigh workout. I realize that not all of you have a beach to do this workout on, so you’ll have to adjust the exercises for the good old wooden floors, however I encourage you to safe this routine for the summer and give it a try when you get the chance.
Workout Breakdown
45 seconds max. effort / 15 seconds rest
1. Side Lunge (alt. legs) – If you’re doing this exercise on the beach make sure to drag the with your foot. When you drag the send out to the side, you’ll be working your glutes and outer thighs. When you drag the send towards your midline, you’ll be working your inner thighs.
2. Front Raise Push Ups – If you’re doing this exercise on the beach, you want to dig your hand into the sand before you do the raise. This way you’ll add an extra challenge which will target your core and arm muscles.
3. Jump Squat – Trust me it’s a lot harder in the sand.
4. Mountain Climbers – If you’re on the beach, you want to drag the sand with your feet and basically dig a hole underneath you. DIG IT!!
5. Hopins (plank jumps) – If you’re exercising on the beach, your challenge is to drag the sand towards you before you jump back into the plank. YOUR ABS WILL BE ON FIRE!!

I had a great idea while watching this. I’m going to try it using a set of gliders …..I have them already at home.
You know what those ones are? – they look like paper plates (which you could also use)! I think they would work great to add a similar resistance.
I’m also going to incorporate ankle weights for some of the moves…and for those pushups, I can put the ankle weights on my wrists!
I can’t wait to try….

Awsome workout . I don’t have a sand but I used 1kg ankle weights for all the exercises + 1kg plates for the push up front raise. It was definitely challenging 😀 . Thx

There is no beach in Bogotá, but I used an elastic band and two towells for the first one. used 10lbs DB for front raises and squat jumps. Did everest mountain climbers and no modification for the last one because I was wiped out.
Nice Wo for the end of the week. Did it after CASH 4 and I’m done for today. Thanks.

This beach work out makes me wish I had a sandbox just to do this workout! I’ll try this when it gets nicer outside at the beach here in NY!

Zuzka, remember when I told you that you have the voice of an angel? It is because you don’t yell like other trainers which I find very annoying. I like this beach workout and I will definitely give it a try but I had to press the mute button on this video because David was yelling all the way through it. Thank you for never doing that!!!

Zuzka Hello, boys and girls ..

You can use socks or a slippery towel to simulate the dragging exercises – probably not as challenging as sand, but it works. 🙂 Great workout! Living in Ottawa, Ontario I definitely won’t have access to sand for a few more months.
